My sister loves red velvet.  Me, I never cared for it.  I’m not sure why – it’s basically chocolate, gussied up with a little food coloring to make it prettier. Whose idea was that?  I mean, the adding of the food coloring? It serves no real purpose really, purely aesthetics. So perhaps I never cared [...]

Yesterday was surreal, in lots of ways.  Some things, I can’t even begin to tell you.  Some things, I CAN.  Take, for example, Brandi came up for a bit and hung out. That’s not the surreal part.

Pretty colors, too.  I AM a girl, after all. [...]

I keep seeing everyone tweeting about Girl Scout Cookies.  I guess it’s about that time for the orders to go in?  My family of full of boys…no young girls are out and about peddling Samoas, Thin Mints, or Do-Si-Dos.  Sad, isn’t it?  Not a soul has asked me to buy a box of anything.  Heck, [...]

Have you heard of Bhut Jolokia? I hadn’t.  Lots of sources call it the Naga Jolokia Pepper, some call it the Ghost Pepper. No matter what you opt to name it, it’s HOT.  You may think… it’s just a pepper, right? Like Habenero, or Chili, or Jalapeno? Not quite. Up until recently, the Bhut Jolokia [...]
